Amazon gifts Glamour editors are giving our moms, at a glance
Top contenders are unique gifts like a birth flower necklace that you can still snag on Amazon with free 2-day shipping, and luxury self-care splurges she wouldn't necessarily buy herself but secretly wants (like silk pillowcases). There are plenty of first Mother's Day gifts in the mix, too, including weighted eye mask to help her get some shut eye, and a meaningful journal that she can one day give to her kids. Is she a cook? Go the practical route and indulge her with a new pan from one of our favorite brands. (Just make sure that you're the one making brunch on Mother's Day.)
If you're shopping for your wife, you can never go wrong with Mother's Day jewelry, and on that note, the "boy mom" friendship bracelet here makes a fab mother-son gift. Looking for present from her favorite daughter that ships overnight? No mom can resist the fresh macarons we included here. Searching for a thoughtful gift for your mother-in-law who has everything? A digital picture frame loaded with snaps of her grandbabies is a simple gesture that goes a long way. From gorgeous flower subscriptions to under-$25 options you can find on Amazon, these last-minute gifts will be at your door (or hers) within 2 days, and mostly without expedited shipping.
